ASSIGNMENT 2 – ICH

1. The heat capacity sulphuric acid in Btu/(lb-mol °R) is given by Cp = 23.06 + 2.071 × 10-2 T
where T is in °R. What is the equivalent expression if heat capacity is given in (a) kJ/(kmol K)
and T is in K. (b) kcal/(kmol ℃) and T is in ℃.

absolute temperature. Stated mathematically, Eb = σ T4 where Eb is the emissive power in
Btu/(ft2h), σ is the stefan-Boltzmann constant, and T is the temperature in °R. What is the value
of σ in W/(m2K4), if its value in FPS units is 0.171×10-8 Btu/(ft2h °R4).
